ApplyArc uses different checks for different output formats. No validator replaces your final factual review.
Selected tools compare generated figures with the evidence supplied to that tool. Depending on the output format, a failure can trigger a retry, cleanup, withheld output, or telemetry.
Bullet rewrite paths check repeatable wording patterns, weakened evidence, expanded scope, invented leadership, and unsupported metrics. They cannot prove authorship.
Tools that need resume evidence can draw from the same stored profile. Missing or incomplete source material still needs your review before anything is sent.
